AC Milan wasted no time opening their account against Napoli, with Alexis Saelemaekers finding the net in under three minutes. However, the goal was largely due to an incredible solo run by Christian Pulisic, who carried the ball from deep within his own half.
Despite earlier comments from Max Allegri suggesting Pulisic wasn`t at peak fitness, the USMNT standout displayed remarkable sharpness. Starting from his own half, he skillfully evaded debutant Luca Marianucci, shrugged off a challenge, and delivered a perfect assist for what became a simple tap-in for Saelemaekers.
This stellar performance continues a fantastic season for Pulisic, affectionately known as `Captain America,` as this assist marks his second of the campaign, complementing his five goals across Serie A and the Coppa Italia.
